Category: Graveyard of Empires: The Islands of Curabel: General Discussion

Hi guys, thanks for the concern and messages, I’m all good.

The main reason is the internet situation. BT saw fit to remove the hotspot for some reason, either that or the hub it was bouncing off of got relocated out of reach. Only connection I can reach right now is the one intended for the pub’s credit card machine, which is unusable for obvious reasons.

Apologies it took so long to reply in general though. My new job has started which means full days of training, and I’m still working at the pub, so yeah, very busy. Also, my girlfriend has moved in with me, so I’ve been sorting that out, and she and the family are getting what free time I do have.

So, probably going to have to step away from the game officially for now, but not forever. Should be getting my own internet connection around end of May, and things should settle down enough that I’ll return early June. Will endeavour to keep you all posted on that, and keep up with summaries and events from the campaign.

Until we speak again, happy gaming!

John Carlson How do I handle Edan’s different XP levels – I track both separately now that they’re no longer in sync? Previous GMs never had me freeze the XP without training – ie: it’s not that you’re not learning new things, you just haven’t learned to apply them.

Guess what I named the dwarf I played in Frank Mentzer’s 0D&D campaign? 😉

Of course, I had him sign my name card and character sheet.

Here I am in Frank Mentzer’s Kitchen, the day before Gary Con started. He’s just cool and relaxed and shares what he knows of the history of RPGs.

My back is to the camera, so you see the back of my bald head.

Book-keeping Notes, Session 148 (3/21/17)

Internet was wonky this morning, kept dropping me.

Turns out they had to push out an update to my modem.

Should be set for tomorrow’s session.

Thanks so much for agreeing to play a day early!
